To utilize the following AAP for Feature 02, projects must be either:
-Located in a jurisdiction where the provision of a smoking room is either mandated by ordinance, incentivized or subsidized by the government, or is a non-regulatory requirement.
OR
-Located in a jurisdiction where smoking is banned outdoors, except in designated areas. Such designated areas must be more than 50 m [164 ft] from all functional building entrances, and smoking ban must be enforced.
Projects may achieve Feature 02, Part 1 by providing smoking areas within the project boundary that meet the following requirements:
1. Clearly designated as a smoking area.
2. Independently ventilated and negatively pressurized to prevent smoke from escaping, as per either ASHRAE 62.1-2013, Section 5.17 or LEED NC 2009 IEQ prerequisite Environmental Tobacco Smoking (ETS) Control, Option 2 Case 1 Non-Residential Projects.

6. Contains prominently-displayed smoking cessation and health education signage and does not contain entertainment amenities.
7. When cleaned, cleaning staff are provided with P100 respirator masks.
8. If the smoking area is repurposed, all materials within the space must be discarded.

During performance verification, one of the sampling points for Feature 01 will be 2–5 m [6.6–16.4 ft] meters from the door to the smoking room and the door will be opened at least once every ten minutes during the testing period.

For Feature 02, Part 2, project may have outdoor smoking areas (e.g., on a roof or patio), provided that these areas are at least 8 m [26 ft] from outdoor air intakes and operable windows. There must be at least two regularly closed doors (or one revolving door) between the smoking area and any regularly occupied interior space for any entries within 8 m [26 ft] of outdoor smoking area. Project must include an identical (or superior) outdoor area where smoking is banned at least 20 m [66 ft] from any other outdoor area where smoking is allowed.

A project using this AAP is limited to Silver level certification, unless it:
- Achieves Feature 95: Stress and addiction treatment, in which case it can achieve Gold.

In addition to original documentation, an architectural drawing must be provided which indicates location, entrances, and wall construction of smoking area. Furthermore, the MEP engineer must provide a Letter of Assurance that the ventilation and pressurization requirements are met. Proper signage must be posted at the entrance to the smoking area and is subject to a spot check during performance review.

To utilize the following AAP, projects seeking to use natural ventilation to meet Part 1 must meet the following requirements:

Field and Laboratory Emission Cell (FLEC) emissions testing is approved as an emissions testing methodology ONLY for furniture and furnishings that are made up of a uniform material and have flat testing surfaces on which the FLEC emissions testing methodology may be applied. For example, flat surfaced cabinetry that is made up of a uniform material may be tested using this methodology. However, chairs that are made from a variety of materials that lack flat surfaces may not be tested using this methodology. The emissions test must be administered by a third party investigator with no affiliation with the project. The associated costs are the responsibility of the project team.

Additional tests performed in accordance with ISO 16000 methodology must be performed for total aldehydes and 4-Phenylcyclohexane and must meet the thresholds specified in the WELL Building Standard.

Multifamily residential projects may achieve Feature 5, Part 1 by providing subsidized rental of purification systems to tenants via a discounted rental rate of the dwelling unit. Project teams must demonstrate that the discounted rent is lower than the market value of the dwelling unit and that the difference will cover the rental of air purification devices. Tenants are required to sign an agreement for purchasing or leasing air purifier(s) in order to receive the discounted rate.

Projects unable to provide additional space for carbon filters may instead educate future tenants on their ability to buy and install stand-alone air purifiers with carbon filters. The project team must provide a letter signed by the project owner to confirm that if required for WELL certification in the future, the project owner will buy and install the air purifiers with filters on behalf of the tenant. It must be demonstrated that adequate wall space is accommodated to install wall-mounted air purifiers. The WELL Performance Testing Agent will confirm the available wall space and examine a copy of all the information given to tenants during the project’s Performance Verification.

Multifamily Residential projects may use wall-mounted HEPA filters to meet the requirements of Feature 5 Parts 1 and 2, provided the project contains a sufficient quantity of wall mounted HEPA filters in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommended area coverage. In addition, a policy document must be provided confirming Part 3 of the Feature and that the Owner will maintain the filters for the units that are located in both common and private areas.

As an alternative to the quarterly inspection of cooling coils required in Feature 6, Part 1b, projects may sample 25% of the project’s cooling coils per quarter (representative of all building orientations and equal to 100% of cooling coils per year) through either visual inspection or performance inspection tests. Policy documentation must be provided that includes a detailed description of the inspection protocols for cooling coils and drain pans, and confirming that cleaning will be provided if mold is found before the annual inspection. The inspection and analyses must be performed in accordance with ISO 16000-18 and ISO 16000-17.
Note that dated photos must still be provided to IWBI on a yearly basis.

Projects may achieve Feature 08, Part 1 by developing and using a comprehensive floor cleaning plan at entrances which details the cleaning products and equipment that will be used to clean various surfaces on a daily basis.

In lieu of the original feature verification method, project teams submit a professional narrative which specifies cleaning products and equipment, protocols for post-inclement weather situations and a checklist with daily tasks that are completed at least two times per day.

Projects may create a healthy space by installing stand-alone air filters in the breathing zone near the primary seating of occupants, and near the entrance. A narrative must be included with documentation to describe the contaminants that will be filtered out along with an operations schedule for the maintenance of the air filters. Note that this AAP meets both Parts of the Feature.

Projects registered as New and Existing Interiors that can demonstrate that aspects of the base building operation is outside of their control are not required to achieve Feature 09, Part 1: Cleaning Plan for Occupied Spaces.

Signage is subject to a spot check during performance review.

Projects may achieve Feature 44, Part 1 by displaying nutritional information for non-packaged foods and beverages on a list of primary ingredients which is clearly displayed (per meal or item) at point-of-decision on packaging, menus or signage. If information is displayed on a digital resource, signage is present at point-of-decision to direct individuals to the digital resource. Signage is subject to a spot check during performance review.

For projects that prepare foods on site from raw ingredients, which are not able to comply with the requirements of Part 1, the project may offer point-of-decision prompts in lieu of labeling. The prompts must be based on a ranking system that encourages the consumption of nutritionally-dense foods. Food prompts must be clearly displayed and must be used in conjunction with a food advertising and/or messaging campaign​ that allows individuals to quickly and easily identify nutritious foods and beverages​. An explanation of the ranking system must be made available to all occupants.

The ranking system will be verified by the WELL Reviewer at the documentation review.​ All strategies should comply with best practices and/or dietary guidelines and be supported by existing scientific, medical, or industry research.​ Please note that all foods offered will still need to comply with Feature 39 Processed foods.

Projects may meet requirements outlined in Part 1b by zoning the space into banks according to proximity to windows or corresponding to location of departments even if the areas differ from those prescribed in Part 1b.

Projects pursuing option a, in place of a letter of assurance and on-site spot checks as indicated in the Performance Verification Guidebook, may provide an annotated floor plan which identifies a subset of workstations that comprise at least 75% of the total number present on site. During Performance Verification, the WELL Performance Testing Agent will restrict sampling to these workstations, and compliance with this feature will be based on 100% of samples equaling or exceeding 200 equivalent melanopic lux.

The following glare control strategies may be used in lieu of glare requirements for atriums. Project teams may submit a plan or narrative detailing the use of a combination of the following: glare reducing film that has a solar transmittance of 10% or less, space planning to ensure workstations are set back from atrium spaces by at least 7 feet, and building orientation to reduce solar glare. Project teams must demonstrate that occupant comfort is not impacted.

Monitors with adjustable monitor arms that allow the occupant to move the computer screens to face within a 20 degree perpendicular to the plane of the nearest window may be used to meet the requirements of Part 1a (Glare Avoidance).
